Games that deserve to be movies

Archive: 46 posts


Usually, movies from games suck. But that's mostly because they let Uwe Boll direct them. They are making a Metal Gear Solid movie, so I was thinking about games that should become movies. Obviously, a good story is a must. And uniqueness is important too. Games like COD4 wouldn't work, at least to me - they're just another shooter. Bioshock's name has been thrown around a lot. Would God of War work? Any other ideas?2008-08-12 17:29:00

I wouldnt mind a MGS movie but i want to to be like a anime style movie, i think it would suck with real actors, but they have made some great movies before with animation like the final fantasy move, sadly it has absolutely nothing to do with the game but it still was a good movie2008-08-12 17:44:00

Ew

Anyway, I think Heavenly Sword would be great as a movie. In fact they should of made it a film in the first place, not a game. It has a great story and acting; it also has great characters.

It's one of the only games that I think would really work as a movie. Any others would seem a bit weird, but hey, with a good director and mindset who knows?

I think a Metal Gear Movie would go one of two ways ;

Extremely well
Extremely S***

That's why I wouldn't want one. I love the games, and they shouldn't risk killing it.

Just looked it up. No. But he wrote it, and that should be good enough.

Bioshock-Would Be Awesome. Uncharted-Pretty Good. MGS4-Epic, if made right. Motorstorm would be unique if they take the "festival" experience and blowing-up racing. If they made it right. Would have to make a story too.2008-08-12 22:12:00

Motorstorm would make a very nice race movie. And I don't think its Metal Gear Solid 4... It's either the first one, a new one or a compilation..

heck we're forgetting resistance, thats got the believeability about it..

I'm trying to think of something.. Yeah! I think Monkey Island would make a cool Movie

Here's another vote for Uncharted, though the game itself is pretty close to a movie. Bad *** game, though.2008-08-13 03:19:00

Okay, Uncharted would be cool. I'm not worried about MGS; Kojima wrote it, so it'll be at least decent.2008-08-13 03:52:00

uncharted would be good and the captain from Serenity could play the lead role, another one would be twisted metal, and resistance would be good also.2008-08-13 06:31:00

I think that resistance would make a great movie. They would have to make some good computer graphics to make all of the aliens though.2008-08-13 06:34:00

Half-Life and Half-Life 2 would make great movies. They are built around their storyline.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune would make a good movie if they could find the right actors.

The Half-Life series seems to be an in-game movie itself. The would have to think of a whole new episode to create a movie. Same with the Metal Gear Solid series; it seems to be a movie itself especially 4 with all the cut scenes.

Uncharted would be a great movie especially with the whole hidden treasure thing

TWISTED METAL would make an AWESOME movie! Why didn't I think of that?! Bravo.

And whats WWZ?

And Doom made a pretty decent movie.. Resident Evil was pretty cool (Only seen extinction) Tomb Raider on the other hand.. sucked imo.

DAAANG!! How could I forget these 2! Anybody who has never heard of/played these 2 PS2 games I really suggest that you give them a play Theyre FUN!

I'm reading a hell of alot of bad reviews for that one. It seems to be a Marmite deal, but I loved it.

and
The Bouncer (http://uk.ps2.ign.com/objects/013/013592.html)

Both are pretty Story-driven too.

1. BioShock (most atmospheric game ive ever played, plus unique story)
2. Uncharted (kick *** and pretty much already a movie)
3. Resistance (i cant say MGS4 cuz ive never played and aliens in the 50's is a great twist)

You barely played Bioshock. You need to get it when it comes out for the PS3. Play it at night like we did at the beach.

The MGS movie isn't MGS4. It's its own storyline.2008-08-14 04:21:00

MGS is indeed a movie
There are more movie's than parts that u play.
Only there a bit late if there is gonna be a movie for that.
The story line is a bit long right now.
But if there gonna do it like Lord of the Ring a movie with more parts it maybe work.

And i never played Uncharted but i can't wait to play it.
So far i hear its the best game ever. ( ok ill say after LBP els i can to much arguments ) ( sorry for my english im not very good at typin )

How about ratchet and clank? I think that could be a great movie, have pixar do it and it would be good.
It looks like the protype game could be turned into a movie.

I hated doom the movie so much, I played every Doom game and the movie had nothing to do with the game storyline, in doom a gate way to hell opens up on mars and demons come out and some of the demons, the little skull guys turned people into zombies when they passed threw people. In the Doom movie they find a virus that mutates people into the monsters. But i guess it depends on who you are, I liked the movie eragon but all my friends who read the books REALLY hate the movie.

Well, at least you don't read the books.

The movies made from games only suck for the people that actually played the game - ie, us.
